/Sounds like "keh" (as in "kept") + "DAHR" (as in "dart") + "MAHL" (as in "mark")/
To make a bad impression, fail to follow through on a commitment, or disappoint someone who was counting on you. Across Latin America this carries real social weight: not letting people down is a responsibility that goes well beyond just showing up on time.
“Please do not drop the ball, make sure you get there on time.”
“He looked terrible by not showing up to the wedding without even sending a message.”

Embolsado
Someone who got talked into or manipulated into something they did not actually want to do, and is now stuck with no easy way out. Used in Colombia. The embolsado did not think it through, trusted the wrong person, and now has to deal with the consequences of a commitment they never really signed up for.
